Weekend Update!

I've had one of those weekends, you just want to forget really. Friday night and all day Saturday was taken up by ringing Social Workers, visiting another care home and supporting parents. No birding achieved at all. Saturday evening I hardly got a wink of sleep, had restless leg syndrome and ended up getting up to watch TV at 2.30am!!! Rubbish day all round.

I was up at 7am on Sunday and spent most of the day at work. Just to add to the weekend, I did a 'Frank Spencer' stunt in the office at lunchtime, tripped over something, broke
something and did my hip in badly!!! Feels like I have pulled a muscle in right hip/lower back. Drove to my parents early evening and then went birding for a short while (see next post).

The pain is now excruciating, after taking Ibuprofen and Volterol Gel. Tomorrow has to be better! I hope I will be able to move in the morning!

About Me

I was born in Norfolk and have been birding all my life and combine this with my passion for photography.
My father Peter Clarke founded the Norfolk Ornithologists' Association in 1962 and was Warden at Holme Bird Observatory for over 33 years. My father wrote 'Nature Notes' for the Lynn News from 1979-2012 and has written several natural history publications including (along with my mother Margaret) "Where to Watch Birds in East Anglia". Very sadly my father passed away, aged 90 years on 23rd February 2017. I have two sisters, Lucy and Vivien.
I have seen several MEGAS in Norfolk inc: Ivory Gull, Fan-tailed Warbler, Thrush Nightingale, Pine Bunting, Stilt Sandpiper, White Crowned Sparrow, Dark Eyed Junco, Penduline Tit, Trumpeter Finch, Bee-eater, Radde's Warbler, Little Bittern, Pacific & American Golden Plovers, Collard & Black-winged Pratincole, Great Spotted Cuckoo, Black-headed Bunting, Alder Flycatcher, Collared Flycatcher, Great Snipe, Citril Finch to name but a few!
